Abstract


The objective of this work was to evaluate the rheological and physicochemical properties of table- margarine produced from interesterified oil blend. Oils were extracted using hot water floatation methods, blended in the ratio of 60:20:20 (Allanblackia: African walnut: fluted pumpkin seed oil) and interesterified at optimum temperature, time and catalyst concentration of 74.6°C, 46min and 0.28%, respectively. The consistency of non-interesterified table margarine with 60 % fat base was significantly (p<0.05) higher (0.14 cm/s). Commercial table margarine (control) showed significantly(p<0.05) higher spreadability (33.00 g.cm/s) and viscosity (29.86 cSt). Table- margarine produced with the interesterified oils and non-interesterified oils gave melting point ranging from 32.00 to 33.00 oC. Melting point of the commercial table-margarine was significantly (p<0.05) higher (37.00 oC). Interesterified and non-interesterified margarine containing 60 – 70 % fat base received same overall acceptability with those of the commercial table margarine. Use of Allanblackia, African walnut and fluted pumpkin seed oils for table-based margarine production is highly recommended, sequel to their high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids (omega-6 and omega-3) which have cholesterol lowering properties.
